Susan Boyle Has Reached Her Boiling Point
Susan Boyle must be feeling the pressure of her new found fame and if you aren't sure who Susan Boyle is, then may I suggest you crawl back into the cave you must be living in!
The mayhem started when two tabloid reporters taunted her at the Wembley Plaza Hotel in London and that really got her Scottish ire up. Boyle was seen in tears and swearing her head off. The poor gal has been through a whirlwind of emotions lately, having gone from virtual nobody to instant celebrity. As with all reality stars, Susan had a very publicized make over after appearing on Britain's Got Talent, and became an overnight sensation.
It must be quite an ordeal to have non-stop media in your face 24/7, especially compared to her previously humble lifestyle. But as Susan has quickly found out, it goes with the territory.
Supposedly Susan was sadly taunted as a child, so perhaps it all came wheeling back to her in that moment. Initially, when I heard the reports of her outburst, I snickered and thought good for her, and perhaps they deserved Susan's tongue lashing, but unfortunately it didn't go over so well in the showbiz arena. And, not surprisingly, it got the TV producer's knickers in quite a bunch.
So Ms. Boyle was put in damage control mode for the sake of her continued quest for fame and was admitted to the hospital for some much needed rest as she was, as they like to call in Hollywood, "suffering from exhaustion."

The day before the final of “Britain’s Got Talent,” Susan Boyle has been whisked away to a hideout amidst fears the singing sensation is cracking under the pressure of her sudden fame. British tabloid The Sun reports that the Scottish singer, whose mother was born in Ireland, was driven away from the Wembley Plaza Hotel in London, the site where she was spotted breaking down in tears after being harangued by a tabloid reporter. The latest in the Susan saga is that the reality TV star, 48, sweared at police officers as they interviewed her about strangers that were harassing her. The Sun says that Boyle, whose performance of "Les Miserable’s" “I Dreamed a Dream” received millions of hits on You Tube is alarming “Britain’s Got Talent” bosses with her erratic behavior, and they fear she may be suffering a mental breakdown. Reportedly, the formerly reclusive singer threatened to quit the show due to the pressures of her sudden fame, but TV bosses persuaded her to stay. In his blog, “Britain’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan said: “Susan is finding it very difficult to cope, and to stay calm. She has been in tears many times during the last few days, and even felt like quitting altogether and fleeing all the attention. “She was actually going to leave the show, packed her bags to go because she couldn't see the point in going on.” Earlier, Boyle was seen at the Wembley Plaza Hotel bar screaming “f*** off” at the TV as she watched Morgan tell “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Shaheen Jafargholi, 12, he had given the “best singing performance so far.” This unstable behavior is atypical for the usually cheerful Scottish woman. Morgan wrote: "Susan Boyle is a very kind, generous-hearted, lady who has had a pretty tough life. But she's always, according to people who knew her well, been a fun-loving woman who would do anything to help others. "I'm not saying she's a saint. But I am saying that before all this fuss, Susan was generally considered to be a genuinely lovely person - albeit, one with a lively, feisty character, and a wonderfully eccentric sense of humor." If Boyle doesn’t pull her act together, TV producers may ax her from tomorrow’s show. Her brother John told The Sun: “Celebrities have professional people who insulate them from these stresses but she hasn't had this protection. The shows producers should have been looking after her more."Well I am not into this whole American Idol or Britain's Got Talent mania, but I wish Susan the best and hope she can cope with her new found stardom. But be careful Susan, celebreality can be very fleeting...just ask William Hung. Who can forget his Ricky Martin rendition of "She Bangs" on American Idol? I know I would like to. I still can't believe this man made three albums and even a few commercials for Ask Jeeves. I can't believe he was ever famous to begin with. It certainly was a fluke and kinda pissed me off, when you consider all the far MORE talented people out there who have been passed by. Hopefully Hung will go back to his civil engineering classes at UC Berkeley.
Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not comparing the REAL talent of Susan Boyle to William Hung's NON-talent. It's just that populatity can be very fickle, and at any given moment, another Vanilla Ice can be born. Word To Your Mother!
